Quote:
Personally I equate personal happiness with one thing: perspective. Always keep in mind the difference between things you want and things you need. For me personally: I need to continue going to college, I need a good education, I need to keep my inner circle of friends, and I need to see progress in my life. Everything else is just icing on the cake; granted women are probably the sugar of said icing. As long as you can keep a consistent frame of mind, and your needs outweigh your wants, you will be happy. It's when the wants become the forefront of your life that stuff starts getting a little shaky. Life should be an adventure, sometimes we all lose track of this but it's up to ourselves and those closest to us to keep us on our toes.
Well said.
I'd like to add that each person needs something they're really passionate about in their lives though, be it a sport, hobby, or work it needs to be something that takes precedent over everything else.
